Blair clenched her jaw to keep herself from saying anything. Aindreas was his son, and he was already doing so much for her. She didn’t want to sound disrespectful or ungrateful. However, she had already had too much of Aindreas as it was. His touch still reverberated through her being, heating her insides. Not to mention, he had already hurt her twice. She couldn’t imagine spending a whole day with him.

Blair watched Alisa bow her head and dip into a deep, graceful curtsy. “Then I will ask him, my laird.”

“See that ye do.”

Alisa nodded towards the door, smiling sweetly at Blair. “Come along then. I shall arrange a carriage for us.”
